About 20 million barrels of oil per day and roughly one-fifth of global LNG trade passed through the Strait of Hormuz in 2024. That traffic moves through a narrow commercial corridor governed by navigation rules, maritime institutions, port procedures, shipboard systems, and overlapping legal jurisdictions.

OSINT-6: Strait of Hormuz Fact Sheet turns that civilian maritime environment into a usable roleplaying reference. It covers the geography and commercial role of the strait, Iran and Oman as the littoral states, Persian Gulf access, international shipping rules, merchant-vessel operations, civilian maritime security, and the public records that can be used to identify and research commercial ships. The book takes no position on current conflicts, assigns no motives or blame, and provides no mission seeds or fictional adversaries.

This 48-page Fact Sheet includes:

• A concise reference to the Strait of Hormuz, its geography, traffic organization, and commercial importance

• Civilian maritime institutions in Iran and Oman

• UNCLOS, transit passage, traffic separation, COLREG, and jurisdiction explained for play

• Merchant-shipping systems including AIS, LRIT, GMDSS, ECDIS, VDR, and IMO ship identification numbers

• Civilian maritime security and OSINT-6 equipment mappings

• Six regional experience packages for agents with maritime backgrounds

• The new Commercial Ships Qualification

• Nine OSINT-6 commercial vessel profiles, from VLCCs and LNG carriers to harbor tugs and pilot boats

• Rules for dense commercial traffic, moving-platform observation, vessel transfers, exposure, and poor visibility

• Maritime intelligence procedures for vessel identification, ownership research, port calls, cargo research, communications, and regulatory records

• A Maritime Intelligence Record, quick-reference material, glossary, and index

Use it as background for a contemporary operation, a historical campaign, or any OSINT-6 scenario involving commercial shipping and the Persian Gulf. The Fact Sheet supplies the verified reference material and game procedures. What happens there is left to your table.
